Ai Colli Amarone della Valpolicella 2005 Vivaldi wine review by Billy

Nose: Cherry Chocolate, wet tobacco and cedar spice hintsPalate: Very soft feel bordering on a sweet limpness, soft and round tannins provide the most structure.Finish:resurgence of big and juicy black and blueberries

Overall: The nose is nice, the feel in the mouth leaves something to be desired but the finish is extraordinary. I paid about 95 Swiss Francs for this. There are definitely better wines to be had at that price, but there was still something special about this wine.
